I ACCIDENTALLY Clicked Mark Forums Read

Please be very careful about clicking those little words "Mark Forums Read" near the upper right of the home page.

Before I clicked "Mark Forums Read" I had 16-17 pages of unread postings. All of a sudden it went from 16-17 pages to ZERO. And I didn't see any way to undo it. For instance, there could be a place where it says either "Undo" or "Mark Forums Unread". Does anyone know of a way to undo this so that my 16-17 pages of unread items comes back?

If you aren't sure, please don't experiment too much. Because you might dig yourself into the same hole that I did.

That link has always been there, it is a default part of the forum software. There is no way to undo that. In the next version of the software I will be able to add a confirmation dialog so it's a two-step process. In this version the quick and dirty fix would be to delete that line from the template entirely, but then that feature is gone for those who do wish to use it.

Lesson learned...the hard way.
